Clockdva Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Is there any way you can resupply the tanks? And is there any way to get more accurate artillery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flintlock Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 There's no resupply option for tanks. Insofar as artillery accuracy is concerned, you select the general area for the strike, and that's where the barrage is concentrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockdva Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yes, but the shells seems scattered all over the place. You seldom hit anything. Well i guess thats the way it is then.Thanks for answering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 More accurate artillery? I used to be a mortarman, and I can tell you that the arty in this game is incredibely accurate. Especially with no spotting rounds or adjustments. Did I also mention, that it has an incredible response time as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to assume they have mortars just offboard in radio contact for it to be so quick. Even though it is still quick. I wonder if the Russians arty is so quick in this game too....

ChrisND Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 The only way that response time is possible is if the pieces are already dialed in straight on the target, with the FO and FDC (or whatever they used in WW2) in constant radio contact. TOF for a high-angle, close morter alone is about 25-35 seconds, depending on range and charge. TOF (Time of Flight) is the time from round firing to round impacting. Now I am curious, gonna dig up WW2 charge books and see what the TOFs for back then were. Also consider that for modern mortars 300 meters is danger close (The closest I ever did as FDC was 150 meters in the dark. Now THAT will raise your pucker factor :eek: ).

Those long range snipers in real life have a tendency to 'drop short' once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
